Know what? |
Here is what I now know after calling the ebay seller, these ball joints are made in Taiwan and are labelled OE. |
Tawain. Now I'm intrigued. I bet they're good. Robbie says they are... that means something.
These are probably the same ones Rare Parts is [re-]selling.
Perhaps we have discovered our savior. |

That doesn’t mean anything nowadays! It just means they were great in 2019 and 2020. 
The Ocap/AcDelco boots above aren’t the correct pleat design, and were doomed from installation day.

I recently installed Nakata ball joints and am happy with them. Just giving feedback.
